Re #271: something like, "Truly Thankful"? Literally it means "Thank
you really"

(while waiting for arabella, let me note: Dee Dee Bridgewater,
KEEPING TRADITION. Jazz vocals. This was a two-dollar item from
the charity box at Where House Records, but I'll look for more stuff
from her at full price.)

Tunes from the CD: "Gorlilias in the Mix". Nifty insturmentals
with natural sounds. More upbeat than the usual 'seaside' or 'forest'
nature CDs.

Rhino's "Best of New Orleans Rhythm 'n' Blues" volumes 1 & 2..
there's some great stuff on these two albums; right now they've
got me thinking that I should look for an album or two of Irma
Thomas's stuff..

Currently playing -- "The Soul of Cape Verde", a very nice CD of
songs from Cape Verde that I borrowed from the Ann Arbor library.
I'd previously only heard the work of one or two Cabo Verdean artists
(notably Cesaria Evora) but will have to go search out more if this
collection is representative..

Television, "Marquee Moon." Time for a 70s binge, I think.

Sarah Brightman, "Just Show Me How To Love You," from "time to say goodbye."
I love her voice. She sings classical/opera without that annoying heavy
affectation that most female opera singers have - you know, the style that
evokes the stereotypical image of Brunhilda. Give me a clear clean sound
anytime.

Hedninarga -- "Mita Mina", from Karelia Visa, their new album. I think
it's going to be my favourite one after Kaksi!, Ken... it's GOOD!

The new Jonatha Brooke. Absolutely delicious CD. I was peeved at her when
The Story broke up. Wouldn't buy her solo album. But this one is beautiful.

Susan Tedeschi, "Just Won't Burn". I am in love with this album at the
moment. She's midway between Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin....

I think that's the one Susan Tedeschi album we have.
We stumbled on her through Dan Ackroyd's "House of Blues" radio
show, while we were on a long car trip.

There was a second album, possibly earlier, billed to the
"Susan Tedeschi Band," which I saw at Borders this week.

Oh wow; I'll have to look for that one then. I asked at Schoolkids-In-Exile
a while back and they could only find "Just Can't Burn" in Records In Print,
but maybe the different name threw them off.

The "Susan Tedeschi Band" album was probably either self-released, or else
on a such a small label that it did not rate coverage in Records In Print.
I recall that the cover was yellow, if that helps you find it...

resp:293 :: I just checked at Borders, and the title of the Susan Tedeschi
Band album is "Better Days," and it is a self-released disc from 1995.
Borders had about five copies of it, so there's no need to make a crazed
dash over there. In the regular Blues bin.

Now playing -- "Genius + Love = Yo La Tengo"
(a B-sides collection; the name is a reference to a classic
Ray Charles album..) Not up to the level of their regular
stuff (but then what is?) but not without a few good tracks.
I've mostly given up on proselytizing the virtues of Yo La
Tengo, having made very few converts. At this point I guess
I'll just have to go on enjoying them privately for as long
as they continue to turn out excellent music..

Natalie Merchant, "King of May" from "Ophelia." It's a beautiful song
that I can sing for Good Friday. Does anyone know the significance of
the phrase "King of May"?

I thought I remembered a reference to that phrase in Ophelia's mad scene in
_Hamlet_, but now I can't find it. Maybe I'm just imagining things. Pity,
it would've been a nice connection.
